In 1970s New York City, down-on-his-luck writer Roger Sharpe (Mike Faist, WEST SIDE STORY) has only one source of joy: pinball. When he learns during a police raid that his passion is considered illegal gambling, Roger sets out on a history-making mission: to overturn the ban by using his own abilities to prove pinball is a game of skill rather than purely one of chance. Based on a true story, this charming debut feature from brothers Austin and Meredith Bragg captures the spirit of a beloved American pastime with snappy humor, a timeless love story, and very impressive mustaches.

Scheduled to attend: Directors Austin Bragg and Meredith Bragg, Actors Crystal Reed, Mike Doyle, Kenneth Tigar and Damian Young, Film Subject Roger Sharpe, producers Rob Pfaltzgraff, Lana Link, Stacey Parks, Summer Crockett Moore, and Tony Glazer
